I'm not as funny as I think I am.

I'm constantly astounded that people don't get just how deeply the idea of "Screw you, I do what I want" is ingrained into American culture.

A. Absolutely no way we should ever allow Chinese cars in the US B. Remember when I literally wrote about this and gave you the data....YEARS ago?
Know anyone driving junk Chinese EV’s? China’s spy cars : Tonight Australia’s current affairs show got a tech expert to hack into a BYD Shark - a Chinese built car challenging Toyota for the most sold brand in their market. Guess what, it has zero cyber technology to prevent hacking, they were able to control the car from a laptop. These things are just Orwellian mass surveillance devices. Cars nowadays, especially Ev’s, and especially Chinese EV’s are just mobile malicious spyware. I laugh when I see people driving these hunks of CCP crap - it will film you, record what you say and send it back to China. Welcome to your digital prison. If China ever wanted to take over a dumb western country that has bought these lumps of crap, they can just turn the cars off, OR use them as weapons easily enough. Our govts will in time make a law that gives them access to your EV anyway… keep your old car. Worth watching the 4 corners clip, a current affairs show, meanwhile in NZ, our current affairs show is Hilary Barry and Newsboy discussing how you can tell your cat’s favourite colour.

If they're going to use the "recording is legal because it's in public", then publishing the list of locations also needs to be legal. Because it's in public.
Flock Safety has issued a legal demand seeking the removal of a public map showing the locations of approximately 300,000 of its surveillance devices across the United States.

This mindless educrat nonsense drives me to an inchoate rage. I was reading at 3, and tested out at high school level my first day of school. Being an early and voracious reader was the single greatest advantage in my life. nitter.cf/NielsHoven/status/2103…

I've seen the name around on ocasion, I'm pretty sure I've even met someone with the name... Yet I still find it difficult to believe the family name "Quackenbush" is real.

There’s only a couple things I know for certain. High on the list is that if a person has a “hate has no place here” sign in their front yard, hate most definitely has a pretty prominent place there…

🍊You knew it was going to be a good day when this giant yellow jug showed up. For decades, McDonald’s franchises loaned these dispensers to schools, churches and nonprofits for fundraisers. The program was called the Orange Bowl, named after the glass dispensers used in the 1950s and ’60s. By the 1980s, those had been replaced by these lighter, portable coolers filled with that syrupy-sweet orange soda goodness

Isn't it curious how Oreos are locked in security cases because these supposedly hungry people always steal overpriced cookies, but not the unsecured bananas in the same store that are 50 cents per pound? It's almost like theft is motivated by want and not need or something.
That pack of Oreo cookies is worth more than an hour of minimum wage work, but sure man, hungry people are the problem.

Does anyone now support the decision to stop the bombing campaign when we did? I mean there are folks who oppose starting it at all, or doing anything beyond bombing a few research bunkers, but who thinks starting & stopping like we did wasn’t a failure?
lol Trump could have won the war in February like us real Conservatives insisted, but you guys listened to Vance🤷‍♂️

The best argument against the death penalty is that if we killed everyone who is worthy of death, there wouldn't be that many people left.

Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe (1996). Apps had so much character in the 90s. If this screen were created today, it would just display the planet's names as a list.

In a year, we are going to find out China is astroturfing a bunch of the recent controversies (AI data centers, Indian immigrants, etc), and these same people will act as if we shouldn't have been smarter and known this was all a gambit all along...
